Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a faucet. Background Art

[0002] The design structure of a traditional faucet includes several basic components: the faucet body, elbow, valve seat and outlet pipe. The faucet body is usually fixedly installed on the sink or wash basin, which provides basic support and connection points for the entire device. The elbow is a part of the faucet, which is usually connected to the faucet body in a rotatable manner so that the user can adjust the direction of the water flow. Usually, the installation between the valve seat and the outlet pipe needs to be installed in the inner cavity of the faucet body. The complexity of this installation process mainly lies in the fact that it needs to be operated in an invisible manner, making the assembly process challenging. In addition, the outlet pipe is responsible for guiding water from the valve seat to the outside world. Due to the rotatable nature of the elbow in the traditional faucet design, the connection between the outlet pipe and the valve seat must have a certain degree of flexibility. Otherwise, when the user turns the elbow, the fixed outlet pipe may be pulled or twisted, causing the outlet pipe to be entangled. Utility Model Content
